quarantine

[lauradi7dw]

Massachusetts in theory requires 14 days of quarantine for people coming in from other states, with a regional exemption. I complied after my NC trip. What I don't think is being done by most (any?) area universities (or prep schools, for that matter) is universal quarantine for arriving students. The military academies did this, and after the two weeks started a mixed program of masked outdoor training and online classes otherwise. It seems to have worked at Annapolis and West Point. The Air Force Academy is being less transparent. Boston College (Arthur's employer) is feeling overly cocky, in my opinion, presumably because they have successfully housed a few hundred students over the summer who would have lost their visas or otherwise been harmed if they had to return whence they came. That's not the same a a campus full of folks. Arthur has been tested, once, and given a wrist band to prove it. I think they are doing that for everyone, and requiring masks and distance. Some classes will be in person, with students spread out. Others will be online. I don't see how that is much different from other campuses with have already shut down due to virus clusters. I know that college campuses are kind of like their own worlds, but it seems to me that Massachusetts regulations should be followed.
